Trinity Site

This is where the worlds first nuclear explosion took place in New Mexico. It was the trial test of the devices made to drop on Japan, which were exploded a week before the Hiroshima bombing. The heat generated in the test was so hot that the sand turned to glass and made a substance dubbed Trinitite which you can still find lying on the ground.

Twice a year the government allows people in to ground zero to view a small monument to the test. Also a replica bomb sits on view on a trailer just for the day.
